Abstract
Column-averaged dry air mole fractions of carbon dioxide and methane (XCO2 and XCH4) retrieved from SWIR (Short-Wavelength InfraRed) observations by GOSAT (Greenhouse Gases Observing SATellite) since 2009 and its successor GOSAT-2 since 2019 are available from NIES (National Institute for Environmental Studies) as SWIR L2 (Level 2) products. This paper shows the current status of the data quality of NIES SWIR L2 products and inter-satellite comparison results. Comparisons of XCO2 and XCH4 obtained from each satellite with ground-based observations from the TCCON (Total Carbon Column Observing Network) reveal that the averaged single measurement precision are less than 1.9 ppm and 10 ppb, respectively, and the site-to-site biases are less than 0.9 ppm and 5 ppb, respectively. The standard deviations of the inter-satellite differences for XCO2 and XCH4 are 2.18 ppm and 12.1 ppb, respectively, on an individual-data basis and 1.77 ppm and 11.7 ppb, respectively, on a monthly-regional-mean basis. While further improvements in the retrieval algorithm and bias-correction method are needed, GOSAT and GOSAT-2 retrievals are generally in good agreement.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
